Qwik Install

STEP 1: Prepare Enclosure - Attach Battery Brackets

Prepare the Velcro strap and the strap brackets,

#5600066. Orient as shown.

Loosen 8 screws holding the mounting plate.

Slide the mounting plate towards you and lift up

on the top end of the mounting plate while sliding

the #5600066 brackets with Velcro Straps over

the end of the mounting plate.

Place the brackets as shown (approx 1.75”

from the enclosure walls) and attach to the

mounting plate using Qty 4 #8 x 3/8 pan head

self tapping screws.

Tighten the Qty 8 mounting plate attach

screws.

Position the #5600067 Battery Support Brack-

ets ~7” from the top of the enclosure.

Attach to the mounting plate using Qty 6 #8 x

3/8 pan head self tapping screw. Note: The

farthest left and right screw holes won’t be

used.

Route the Velcro straps through the slot in the

#5600067 brackets. We recommend not in-

stalling the batteries at this time because it

makes the enclosure heavy and harder to handle. We suggest installing

the batteries once the enclosure is already mounted to a pole or wall.

STEP 2: Prepare Enclosure - Attach Pole Mount Brackets

Caution: Pole mount brackets may have sharp edges, wear gloves.

Attach the pole mount

brackets to the back of the

enclosure using four flat

washers as spacers under

the bracket and four flat

washers and self tapping

screws on top of the brack-

et per the instructions that

came with the enclosure.

STEP 3: Solar Battery

Charge Controller Install

The system includes an ad-

vanced PWM charge control-

ler with PoE output (SCPOE).

Mount the controller on the

backplate using one or two #8

x 3/8” pan head self tapping

screws. The mounting holes in

the controller don’t match ex-

actly to the backplate holes.

You can angle the controller to

align two mounting holes. You

can also mount the controller

to the inside cover using vel-

cro tape if you need more

room on the backplate to

mount your equipment.

The controller maintains prop-

er charge parameters to ex-

tend battery life.

Remove the green connector on the front of the unit and don’t install

again until system startup phase. Attach the included battery cables to

the controller BAT inputs on the green connector. (Red to + and Black

to –). Don’t connect wires to battery until battery install step.

Note: The battery cable is different if 12V or 24V configuration. For

12V, all batteries are wired in parallel. If 24V, each pair of batteries is

wired in series and both series pairs are wired in parallel.

The controller has an RJ45 Passive PoE Output (24V or 48V) and there

is also a green wire terminal output on the back of the controller which

will be equal to the battery voltage and is also controlled by the Low

Voltage Disconnect function of the controller. Wire Terminal output sup-

ports 1.5A max.

The kit includes two Cable Gland Feed-

throughs. Remove one or two hole plugs in the

bottom of the enclosure and replace with one

or two cable gland feedthroughs to be used to

route external wires.

STEP 4: Solar Assembly

Assemble the solar mount bracket per the in-

structions that came with the solar mount and

attach the solar panel with solar panel junction

box toward the top or left/right side.

Set the bracket angle for your optimum winter

angle (Latitude * 0.9 + 30 degrees)

Install the solar assembly to a 2” to 4” pole. Solar panel should be fac-

ing South if in Northern Hemisphere. Avoid any shading of solar panel.

STEP 5: Enclosure Mounting

Mount the enclosure to a pole using two stainless steel hose clamps.

Cut off any extra hose clamp length after tightening to keep a clean in-

stall. As an option, the enclosure can also mount to a wall using the

included 4 wall mount brackets and user supplied screws. It’s best to

mount the enclosure so it is shaded by the solar panel.

Connect the solar cable through one of the feedthrough in the bottom of

the enclosure and to the SCPOE solar controller front green connector.

Be careful to observe proper polarity. Red wire to + and Black wire to –.

Don’t plug the external solar connectors until the system startup step.

STEP 6: Battery Install

Insert the batteries by slipping under the Velcro straps. Attach all cables

to the batteries and then tighten the straps.

Connect Battery wire negatives (Black) to battery terminal negatives

(Black). Connect Battery wire positives (Red) to battery terminal posi-

tives (Red).

The Velcro straps will be on top of the connectors. This is the normal

configuration.

STEP 7: System Startup

Double check wiring of the green connector. Solar cable to SOL +/- and

Battery Cables to BAT +/-. Note: there are two BAT– connections. You

can use either or both.

Plug the green connector to the controller. If battery voltage is >12V

(SCPOE-12xx) or >24V (SCPOE-24xx) the controller should be pow-

ered up.

Plug the external MC-4 connectors to the mating connectors from the

solar panel. Connect negative (-) first.

You should see the SOL, CHA and LOA lights lit on the controller.

SOL means that there is Solar Power coming from the solar panel.

CHA means the battery is charging.

LOA means the load output is ON. POE OUT is on, wire terminal is ON.

STEP 8: Finalize the Install

Make sure the lid gasket is clean and free from any particles, then close

and latch the cover, making sure that wires are clear of the gasket area.

There is a small combination lock included if you want to prevent some-

one from opening the enclosure without your knowledge.

TECH CORNER

1. CONTROLLER: The 12V controller turns off power to the load at

11V and reconnects when the battery reaches 12V. The 24V controller

turns off at 20V and on at 24V. This protects the batteries from overdis-

charge and increases battery life and performance.

2. CAPACITY: The RemotePro® with 4 AGM battery provides 432Wh of

backup power.

3. BATTERY MAINTENANCE: The batteries used in the RemotePro®

systems don’t require any maintenance. AGM should last up to 5 years

in normal use. Note: Never store batteries for any length of time in a

discharged state or it will damage the battery.

4. BATTERY OVERDISCHARGE: We highly recommend hooking all

equipment loads to the controller load outputs. These outputs will dis-

connect the load if the battery voltage drops below 11V/20V and this

will protect the battery from over-discharge. If batteries get completely

discharged, you will reduce the battery life and you will need to super-

charge them with a good quality 10A automotive battery charger. Don’t

charge for more than 8hrs on an automotive charger. Once they are

back to a normal operating range, the integrated charge controller will

maintain the charge.

5. POE OUTPUT: The Passive PoE output is either 24V or 48V de-

pending on the model you have selected. Be sure any device you are

plugging into this output is compatible with the voltage or you might

damage your device. Also, the port is 10/100Mb. It does not support

Gigabit speeds.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING:

A. There is no Load Output?—If battery voltage is too low, the

charge controller will turn off the load outputs. On a 12V battery

system the load will turn off if battery is <11V. On a 24V battery

system the load will turn off at <20V. It won’t turn back on until the

battery voltage exceeds 12V/24V. Also check front panel fuse.

B. I want to add additional solar panels. What is the largest solar

panel I can use? Max Solar Panel Size = 12V 100W , 24V 200W

C. The CHA light is flashing. What does that mean? The CHA or

Charge light flashes when the batteries are almost full and the

controller switches to PWM float mode.

D. What is the REV light? The REV light means that the battery

connections are backward. Please correct immediately to avoid

damage to the controller.

E. I hooked everything up but the controller won’t power up?

The most common issue is the SCPOE controller is a 24V model

but you connected the batteries in 12V configuration or the

SCPOE is a 12V model and you hooked up the batteries in 24V

configuration. Confirm the battery voltage is compatible with the

model of SCPOE solar controller. (SCPOE-12 or SCPOE-24)
